In a globally-connected world, measures like trying to stop Chinese from spying through their home-built networking gear is too little, too late. I cover some of this in book 3 of my hacker thriller series (which is out for peer review and will publish in Spring 2023). Every Apple device I own was "assembled in China." Cisco sends manufacturing to China, was doing so even as their fraud department had red pins in China manufacturing locations - I saw them when I was writing my award-winning story on fake networking gear in the LEGITIMATE SUPPLY CHAIN *aka not sold off eBay but by Gold certified Cisco distributors.) I could go on, but the fact is, we're already totally owned. Consumers, businesses, government agencies really have no recourse but to replace and rebuild with 100% US-made products, which I know nobody is going to do. Zero trust? Ha ha ha. Tell me how that works when our components are built overseas in countries like China and other monitoring societies?
And yet, the feds hope to stop all of this. See article here.
